north korea is a worldwide threat. it's time to act with urgency and great determination. >> he is defending his harsh rhetoric before but is not competing that harsh rhetoric on the korean peninsula. >> north koreans repeatedly saying they have to send a clear message. >> able to get four guns even though he had this history of domestic violence. >> we don't need politics right now. evil is evil is evil.

>> we see a pattern in elected officials saying we need to send our thoughts but then not proposing any action. >> i think my lord gave me the skills to do what needed to be done. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> welcome to "new day." alisyn is in washington. this is election day. we have a lot to cover. breaking news, president trump calling on north korea to come to the table now and to make a deal. very different talk than we've heard in the past. president trump clearly toning down that heated rhetoric at this joint news conference with south korea's president. he did vow to still use military force against north korea if necessary. mr. trump stopping short of saying whether he wants direct talks with pyongyang. >> the president also facing questions, more questions about the texas church massacre. he claims extreme vetting for

gun ownership would not have prevented the attack and that hundreds more may have died if not for a good samaritan with a gun. this comes as new details emerge about the texas killer and his violent past. we have it all covered for you. let's begin with cnn's jeff zeleny, live in seoul, south korea, traveling with president trump. good morning, jeff. >> good morning, alisyn. president trump said he would use the full weight of the u.s. military to go after north korea. but he said that in a very different way. he struck a concilliatory tone as we stand in the shadow of north korea. in fact, he even said the regime should come to the table and make a deal. president trump called military force a last resort in confronting north korea. but said it could still be a necessary one if kim jong-un won't back away from his nuclear ambitions. >> we have a nuclear submarine also positioned. we have many things happening that we hope, we hope -- in

fact, i'll go a step forward, we hope to god we never have to use. >> the president visiting the korean peninsula for the first time today, standing in seoul, only 35 miles from the north korean border. he said sanctions appear to be starting to work. he would not say whether he supported direct diplomatic talks which he blasted only weeks ago as a waste of time. >> we like to play our cards a little close to the vest. yes, i think we're making a lot of progress. >> he called on leaders around the world, signaling out russia and china to stand up to kim jong-un. >> he is, indeed, threatening millions and millions of lives. so needlessly. north korea is a worldwide threat that requires worldwide action. >> standing side by side with south korean president moon, mr. trump took a far more measured tone, stopping well short again today of belittling kim jong-un as he has recently done in weeks

back in the u.s. >> rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself. >> they will be met with fire and fury, like the world has never seen. >> instead, the president made a show of force as he visited camp humphreys, where thousands of american troops are paced. at a briefing with south korean military commanders, the president expressing optimism that the nuclear standoff could be peacefully resolved. >> hopefully it will all work out. it has to work out. >> mr. trump has been critical of president moon, once saying his appeasement with north korea would not work. this was all about diplomacy, amid escalating tensions with the north. >> i want to thank you so much for that beautiful ceremony. it doesn't get more beautiful than that. >> president trump facing questions about the church massacre in texas. the president was asked if increased vetting for gun purchases in the u.s. would not have stopped the carnage. >> you're bringing up a

situation that probably shouldn't be discussed too much right now. if you did what you're suggesting, there would have been no difference three days ago. and you might not have had that very brave person who happened to have a gun or rifle in his truck go out and shoot him and hit him and neutralize him. if he didn't have a gun, instead of having 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead. >> the president is wrapping up a state dinner here in seoul, once again spending time with president moon. he will be delivering a major policy speech, in fact, the biggest speech of his asia swing this week, addressing the national assembly, again talking about the importance of a worldwide effort to go after and confront the north korean regime. and then it's on to china from here. of course, china is so central to all of this conversation about north korea.

and it's that relationship between the president of the united states, president trump and president xi jinping that bears the most watching on this trip. >> what a turn about here, jeff. we heard the president saying secretary of state rex tillerson was wasting his time with diplomacy. it comes at the right time. north korea is going to be closely following president trump's words. they'll be watching what he says tonight when he addresses south korea's lawmakers. what will be the reaction in north korea? we are positioned there for you. will ripley, live in pyongyang, north korea. cnn once again the only american network there. this is will's 17th visit to the reclusive nation. this one will matter in a very special way, will. >> indeed, chris. and the sense i get from speaking with north korean officials here in pyongyang, they know that the stakes are

incredibly high right now. it is encouraging to hear president trump use a more measured tone, speaking in south korea, about 120 miles from where i am here in the north korean capital. what the north koreans have made clear to me, even tonight, is that they say they are going to round off, in their words, their nuclear program. one more nuclear test, missile launch of a long-range missile, the kind that they say could reach the mainland united states. they say these things are going to happen. what we don't know is when and exactly what may trigger that sort of a test. could it be president trump's speech? could that be the time that north korea decides to demonstrate their own abilities, given the fact that senior diplomats have said they don't feel that they can talk to the trump administration, that first they have to send a clear message? keep in mind what the united states wants here is denuclearization of the korean peninsula. they say their nuclear weapons are here to stay. chris, alisyn? >> appreciate it.

thank you very much, will. let's discuss the context here. cnn political analyst david gregory and nicholas christoph. how big is this speech in south korea tonight? >> it really is important. and great improvement that president trump, a, is not using the kind of extreme rhetoric about having totally destroying north korea and also that he's talking about trying to work out a deal. so this is really welcomed but i think one question is, you know, is this just a swerve while he is in south korea, and more broadly, at the end of the day we have a strategy toward north korea, seeking denuclearization by pressuring sanctions that everybody think is doomed. if, indeed, north korea continues with its tests, then is president trump going to use military options? and i think there is a great

anxiety among a lot of security experts that the risk of a war may be substantially greater than the american public realizes. >> it also plays into, though, nick, a broader argument about military force, right? the only way legally that the president could take military action would be in response to direct and imminent threat to the united states. anything after that should take congressional authorization, get us back to the debate we still haven't heard in congress, that they were promising so loudly just last week. >> that's true. the trump administration would present it as preemptive, to protect the u.s. but there would be a lot of doubts about the legality of that. there is an effort by some democratic senators to say that president trump would be able to make a preemptive strike against north korea only with congressional authorization. i think that's unlikely to pass, frankly. >> david, listen, as nick lays out the stakes, they're obviously very high. but the rhetoric has changed and

the tone seems to have been tamped down. it's curious to see if that will help to bring them to the table. all the talk of rocket man didn't derail things on their side. his leader has been criticized by president trump for doing so. the chinese, of course. and this is so much more real to them. should there be a preemptive strike, it's, of course, south koreans who would face the immediate impact of that. japanese, more talk about rearming and confronting the north korean threat. the bottom line is so much going on all at once. the president has been more

measured. he is sticking to his script in asia, which would reassure people. he is suggesting there would be some acceptance of the status quo, as much as america and others would like the north to be totally denewark leerized and the peninsula be denuclearized, they're effectively trying to get a freeze on all sides and there's no question that this administration wants a stop to the testing. >> you were saying there's so much going on. there's so much on the table. how do you prioritize in terms of what needs to be addressed on this trip, concerns and potential pitfalls you see? >> north korea has to be at the top of the agenda. we really don't have very many options. long-term deterrence from north korea. that's very unappetizing. another is a war that's even

more unappetizing. one study says on the very first day there would be a million deaths. and third option is some kind of, as david referred to it earlier, freeze for a freeze. that is what rex tillerson has been pursuing and that's also what the north korean foreign ministry might be willing to accept. i think hard liners would not like that. >> back here at home we're wrestling with this texas church massacre and how it could happen. president trump was asked about that this morning. liste listen. >> there would have been no difference three days ago and you might not have had that very brave person who went out and had a gun in his truck and shoot

him and hit him and neutralize him. if he didn't have a gun, instead of having 26 dead, you would have had hundreds more dead. >> david gregory, that's strange logic. if the guy with the assault conviction who had a long history of domestic violence didn't have a gun, we wouldn't have had 26 ted. >> the u.s. air force failed to convey that this was a violent guy with a criminal past who shouldn't have a gun. that's a big leak in our system to prevent weapons into the hands of people like this. the idea that we need more guns with people shooting back, the facts belie that. nick has done very good work, putting out a public health safety in "the new york times"

that laxer laws. there has to be a different approach politically and otherwise that can create momentum about making these not just rare -- these kind of rampages, which are still rare but making them also less impactful. yes, having someone there that can neutralize the shooter is part of that. it's still horrible. >> it didn't help soon enough. >> it's not wrong to say it could have been worse. that's not really what's relevant in terms of making these less severe. >> what do you want people to know, nick? >> in general the policies that have been most effective in addressing gun violence have been those that aren't so much targeted at guns themselves but rather at access to them. and so, you know, there's no -- nobody would have deny this had good samaritan access to his weapon but there should have

been efforts to prevent the perpetrator in this case and, you know, there's a lot of talk about how the air force screwed up. and it absolutely did. remember that 22% of guns are acquired without a background check in this country today. and so even if the air force had put his name on the list, he would have been able to go to a gun show, through a private transaction buy a weapon anyway. so a starting point is to make sure that everybody goes through a background check before acquiring a weapon. 93% of gun owners support that policy. and, you know, there's a rare consensus here. it's not a magic wand. but would it help? absolutely. >> and i think that mental health piece, the president talked about that. and the administration initially rolled back greater efforts to restrict people with mental health problems from getting weapons. in colorado after one of the shootings there, they made some progress at the state level on getting access to records,

information about people with mental health histories in denying access to guns. i think that's absolutely the right approach. >> we actually have some good examples there at the state level. so, connecticut tightened its weapons, missouri loosened them. in connecticut, gun homicides dropped 40%. gun laws do matter. >> there you go. let's just go with what works. forget the emotion, the ideology. go with what works and those statistics are telling. nicholas kristof, david gregory, thank you very much. now more on the texas church massacre investigation. the u.s. air force confirms that it failed to share with law enforcement about his conviction. that could have prevented him from getting guns. live in sutherland springs for us, diana, what have you

learned? >> reporter: we're starting to learn more importantly about each of these victims but cruel details about what happened inside that sanctuary on a sunday morning. authorities telling us that he emptied 15 magazines. that is 450 rounds at the first baptist church. perhaps most chillingly in retro expect, we're learning that the warning signs were there. the air force, admitting that they failed to alert federal authorities about devin patrick kelley's history of domestic abuse, a mistake that could have prevented the killer from purchasing the rifle that he used to carry out sunday's massacre, adding to his arsenal of weapons. >> somebody really dropped the ball in this case and there's 26 dead people now. >> reporter: an investigation now under way by the air force inspector general as court records offer insight into the shooter's violent past n 2012, the shooter pled guilty to assaults in 2011 and 2012 against his first wife and aggravated assault against his

infant stepson. >> he would often be physically violent with his son, including violently shaking him. as a result of that, his stepson had suffered fractures, had a subdermal heem. >> charged with pointing loaded and unloaded guns at his wife, those were dropped as part of a plea agreement. he was sentenced to one year in a military prison and a bad conduct discharge along with reduction in rank. his neighbor said he saw him beating a dog, allegations that he denied. he remarried in 2014. the killer recently had become obsessed with a family dispute and sent threatening text messages to his mother-in-law, including the morning of the shooting. she was not in church sunday morning but another family member was.

lul white was killed in the attack. >> that domestic situation that is continuing to be vetted and thoroughly investigated. >> reporter: joaquin ramirez and his wife, joann solise witnessed it firsthand. >> it was so scary. that man was shooting. i mean, he was shooting hard. >> reporter: the shooting stopped for a moment as the gunman went aisle for aisle, looking for survivor. >> i thought it was the police when i saw the feet because everybody got real quiet. and, be quiet, everybody was saying, be quiet. it's him. it's him. >> reporter: ramirez said the killer shot crying babies inside the church point blank. stephen willeford who confronted and chased down the killer recounting his story to cnn affiliate. >> the people in that church, they're friends of mine. they're family. and every time i heard a shot, i knew that that probably

represented a life. i was scared to death. >> willeford shot the killer once in the leg and the torso before police say kelley took his own life. >> i'm no hero. i am not. i think my god, my lord protected me and gave me the skills to do what needed to be done. and i just wish i could have gotten there faster. >> reporter: scott holcome, who lost eight family members spanning three generations, telling cnn he met the killer and he is confident kelley knew every person in the church where he carried out the massacre. the tight-knit community coming together monday to remember the victims, including the 14-year-old daughter of the church's pastor, who was killed in the attack. >> one thing that gives me a sliver of encouragement is the fact that belle was surrounded yesterday by her church family that she loved fiercely.

>> reporter: now 14-year-old annabelle pomeroy, one of the 26 killed in that it can. they're trying to give this community a sense of normalcy. chris, i know you were here as well. you know how difficult it is for this community. the next couple of days as they start to bury their dead will be even more difficult. after that, they've got to figure out what normal is for sutherland springs again. >> we have just never seen anything like this. it's the deadliest, you know, attack within a church. but in that small community where you have, what, maybe 500, 600 people, even the people who live there aren't quite sure. but it's so small. you have about 10% of the population that was directly victimized by this. not to mention family and loved ones. we've never seen a place hit so hard with so many different outreaches, so many different parts of that one small community. thank you for being there.

thank you for the reporting. look, we know that seeing what happened in texas who will owes out your heart, makes you angry. you want it to stop. you'll see it in the media with all this spontaneous outrage. that doesn't get you anywhere if nothing is done about it. and that's easy to say, too. we have a democratic lawmaker coming on, calling for change and an investigation. but what can be done to make what's on your screen less likely? let's test it, ahead. when you say you need a heart transplant... that's a whole different ballgame. i was in shock. i am very proud of the development of drugs that can prevent the rejection and prevent the recurrence of the original disease. i never felt i was going to die. we know so much about transplantation. and we're living longer. you cannot help but be inspired by the opportunities that a transplant would offer. my donor's mom says "you were meant to carry his story".

president trump is not calling for stricter gun laws after the massacre at a texas church. if anything, he's suggesting we need more guns. we learned that the man who shot and killed 26 people should never have been allowed to buy a weapon. remember the issue. the issue is access to weapons. his domestic assault conviction prevented him legally for fr purchasing guns. the air force that court-martialed him, put him in jail for a year, gave him a bad

conduct discharge, reduced his rank but then failed to enter the charge into law enforcement database. joining us now is democratic senator richard blumenthal. they've acknowledged it. we'll have to see if this is something that happens enough to warrant some type of procedural change. military reporting is probably not the root cause of the gun problem we have in america. what do you think will change? what do you think could change that would help us stem the violence? >> let's be very clear, first, chris. there's a federal law that requires the air force to report and the military general to report these kind of crimes to the federal database. this law, evidently, was not followed here. that's why i want an investigation. but even more broadly, there are court-martials, thousands of them, every year, that involve very serious felonies as well as

domestic violence misdemeanors. all of them should be reported. preliminary information available to me is they're not being reported and that is a major lapse in the system. >> what do you do about it? look, you're touching on what the root is of one of these things that should be common ground. common ground should be that the laws that we have should be strictly enforced. the nra brings that up all the time and they get too much credit. on the left you say we have to enforce the laws. what do you do? if people aren't putting the proper data into the database, what do you do? >> first of all, there has to be clear direction from the secretary of defense. that's why i'm going to be writing to him today asking for an explanation about exactly your question. it's the key question. what are they doing to enforce this law. i'm a former prosecutor. i know how important enforcement

is. the best laws on the books are dead letter if they're not enforced. more broad ly, chris, we need background checks that cover all the sales in this country, that will keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and most particularly domestic abusers. there are lapses and loopholes in the current law. for example, they fail to apply to temporary protective orders, domestic abuse and violence combined with guns are a toxic mix. in fact, women are five times more likely to die in domestic violence disputes if there is a gun in the house. 55% of all women who die from homicides are victims of domestic abuse. we have a clear and present, ur urgent problem and need to address it. >> 35,000 people a year take their own lives with guns. clearly it's a prauder concern, often gets ignored. we wind up in the same place, don't we? what will happen that will

change anything that existed before the texas massacre? >> i think what alisyn said earlier, let's go with what works. we know background checks work. it has been proven in connecticut, my state, where we've reduced serious crime as a result of the strong measures that have been introduced like background checks, ban on assault weapons such as were used in this horrific massacre in texas. we know also that more guns are not the solution. and i defer to my law enforcement colleagues, the professionals who look with great disdain on the idea that arming everyone is going to be a way to stop crime. in fact, it failed to stop these 26 tragic deaths in texas. >> we already own half the world's population of privately owned weapons, the united states does, and we have 25 times the

gun violence rate of other countries. let's quickly shift topics. russian investigation, carter page. this didn't just happen yesterday but it's getting momentum right now. how significant do you believe carter page is and why? >> carter page is significant as part of the mosaic. he is another piece in the developing picture along with george papadopoulos, paul manafort of these continuous contacts during the trump campaign with the russians. the trips to moscow, the conversations with the russian foreign ministry that george papadopoulos has acknowledged. offers of help, dirt from the russians to george papadopoulos, offers of e-mails, trips to russia to meet with high-ranking russian officials all form a

picture. none itself alone fully persuasive and powerful but what's developing is a mosaic of potential collusion that the special counsel will be pursuing and i would anticipate we can expect more convictions and more indictments. >> contact is one thing. coordination, quite another. that would be the criminal mandate for the special counsel. let's see if he has the proof. senator, thank you very much. appreciate your appearing on the show, as always. president trump says it's too soon to talk about gun violence. what's the solution? we ask the republican senator on the senate arms services committee next. will make tossing and turning a thing of the past. plus, during our veteran's day savings event, save up to $500 on select adjustable mattress sets. find your exclusive retailer at tempurpedic.com.

during a news conference in south texas today, a reporter asked president trump if he would support extreme vetting for buying a gun. >> you know, you're bringing up a situation that we shouldn't be talking about right now.

we could let a little time go by. but that is okay if you think that is appropriate even though we're at the heart of south korea. i will answer your question. if we did what you are suggesting there would have been no difference three days ago. >> three of the five deadliest mass shootings in modern history have taken place in the last few weeks. do you agree with the president that it's too soon to talk about gun violence? >> it's never too soon to deal with a tragedy. our thoughts and prayers go out to the families in texas, like they did in nevada and earlier events. i agree with senator mccain. we ought to find out in the military what happened in the air force that that information was not fed into the database? there are things we need to learn about this. >> sure. guess what, it wasn't just that information that wasn't available for the gun sellers. this guy, this gunman was also charged in 2014 after he had

left the military with animal cruelty. his neighbors watched him punch and kick and throw a dog. why isn't that registering somewhere, that he had a violent past? something is wrng with the system. >> this is an individual that the system as we see it today. it didn't work in this case and we need to find out why. >> as you watch these things happen, what do you think the solution is? >> first of all we need to enforce the law, obviously. here is a breakdown in our system. beyond that, i think we have to, as a society, get to the bigger issues. that is, what are the things driving this sort of emotion? you heard the statistics from senator blumenthal about the number of women who die from domestic violence. this is bigger than domestic violence. we have to make a change and a difference so these things stop happening. >> in february, president trump

signed a bill into law that made it easy ier for people with menl issues to buy a gun. >> i'm not sure that that's -- >> president obama made it harder for people on social security disability with some mental issues not to buy guns. president trump just reversed that. >> the current laws aren't working. we saw this case here. i was involved in charleston, that terrible tragedy down there. >> that church massacre. >> that church massacre. what's happening in communities like charleston and augusta and other places is a model. >> charleston basically had a community that was already together. they bonded together.

can you imagine in charleston that not being more inflammatory? those people of all color and backgrounds came together because they had been working on i for years. >> look, we see this. we see humanity after the fact. it would be nice to see this before the fact. one last thing, bump stocks, all the outcry about bump stocks. what's congress doing about that? >> senator feinsteins had a bill. it's going through the process in judiciary, as i understand it. we'll see how that goes. frankly, i didn't know much about bump stocks until this all happened. >> no one did. >> this is one where we need to get at the answers. we have current law that is very difficult to have a chain-fed automatic weapon. so by law, we preclude most people from having an automatic weapo weapon. >> the president has toned down the rhetoric. do you think that's helpful? >> first of all this is a president engaging with the rest of the world after eight years

of disengagement. i was very excited when president xi was the first head of state to come to the united states. i'm also very excited that this president in his first year is going to china. he has developed a consensus of support with north korea and opening doors for a nonkinetic solution to this thing. we have to find a way to get through here. >> do you support direct talk between the u.s. and north korea? >> absolutely. i think the president has intimated both publicly and privately that that would be in the cards. i'm convinced, though, that this is in the best interest of china and the united states to get together and find a common solution and i'm also excited that the president is emanating that he wants to talk to putin about this as well. i think they play an important part as well. >> thank you for coming in to talk about all the news of the day. >> he once served as the associate pastor of the texas church targeted by a killer. now he's helping the community heal, talking about the mishap that may have saved his daughter's life next.

sutherland springs, texas, is a small town with 500 or 600 people who live there. if you look at the numbers of the people who were directly victimized in that church you have almost 10% of the population when those 26 people

were murdered, when those other 20 or more were injured. it was a huge toll on that community. his daughter still worships there. she might have been there that sunday except for a flat tire that morning. pastor mark collins. thank you, sir, for joining us this morning. >> it's an honor to be with you this morning. >> well, you are the man of god. how do you deal with the aheady question of why those children, those 26 people lost their lives but a flat tire probably spared your daughter? how do you make sense of this type of evil in the house of god? >> chris, on this side of the veil, i don't know that we can

ever make sense of this except there was a darkened heart by the circumstances of his life and it drove him to do such a heinous act that we'll never explain it. frank and i have spent most of the afternoon and evening visiting with the families and thinking we were going to go in and encourage them. yet they encouraged us, you know. we're going to get through this as a family, as a church family. and it was just so incredible, so uplifting to talk to these people that have literally lost everything, many of them. one of the folks of the family that lost -- go ahead, i'm sorry. >> no, no, i want you to tell me more about that. when you say frank you're talking about pastor frank pomeroy, of course, the pastor of this church where the attack happened. he wasn't there with his wife but lost his 14-year-old daughter and you're helping him now deal with this congregation and his own loss. please continue, tell us what you're hearing from the

familie families. >> like i say, the family that lost the most they lost nine family members that. couple, i saw them yesterday. they spent the whole day going around, encouraging others that were still in the hospital. just can't imagine that kind of courage and focus, not on themselves but on other people, just truly inspiring to me. talked to first responders who walked into the church. of course, you can imagine the scene. though it's probably unimaginable. i looked up and on the second pew was one of the parishioners struck five times in the lower extremities and abdominal area and he had his hands in the air, praising god, giving god glory. how can you do this if you're not focused on this world but the next? those are the folks that are here, fighting for their lives, many of them. keep them lifted up. >> what do you do to get through the days to come? right now people are still in shock. you're going to have a lot of

people to put to rest in that town. some of them as young as five years of age. how do you handle that? >> i think the moment we put a face to it -- devin kelley was the instrument that perpetrated these events and it was amazing to actually hear some of those that have been shot praying for his family. but the moment we put a face to it, saying god is where he wants us. it wasn't devin kelley that perpetrated these things on his own. he was driven to do that. we don't know why. our hearts go out to his family. and the loss that they must be shouldering right now. there are a lot of victims here. and it's light and darkness and darkness came into light that sunday morning. and took out a

sutherland. devin they were family. they were not parishioners. >> thank you. we know you live up the road, but as you were saying, your daughter is a parishioner there, and we will keep attention on that town and its recovery. >> all right. thank you and god bless you. >> be well. alisyn. i am here in washington, d.c. and it's election day in the u.s. again, and all eyes on virginia, including the president's watchful eye. why? that's next.

accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something.

morning. hi, ryan. >> reporter: good morning, from richmond, virginia. donald trump did not win the presidential election last year, and that has not stopped him on weighing in on the race here for governor. this morning he has tweeted in support of the republican, ed tkpwhre gillespie, and attacking northam. if gillespie were to pull it off, his election to be what stands. the final stage of the race for governor of virginia has turned into a political slugfest. democrat, ralph northam and ed gillespie have crisscrossed, and hard hitting ads dominate the

airwaves. the race could offer an early glimpse into the mood of the american voter as it relates to the trump presidency, and the impact on this contest is undeniable. >> people are watching and looking at virginia to see what direction we go in. >> trump fired off several endorsements to gillespie, a former aid to george w. bush. >> gillespie is on the right side of every issue. >> gillespie has brought in mainstream republicans like marco rubio, and he never appeared with the president. he did tell cnn that he's proud to have his support. >> i think the fact is, obviously his supporters here are supporting me and i appreciate that very much and i will take all the help i can get. >> he has not been able to leverage the culture war put in

place by the president. >> i'm for keeping them up and he's for taking them down. >> accusing northam of supporting sanctuary cities, which there are none in virginia, and connecting it to a rise in the ms-13. >> what he's really trying to deliver is fear. >> northam during his primary, he called trump a maniac. then he delivered this. >> i will work with him. >> would you work somebody that called you a maniac?

>> i will do what is in the best interest of virginia. >> reporter: it's gillespie that has been forced to walk a careful line. >> are you concerned about some of the things he said and the -- >> i am very focussed on virginia. what do we need to do in the commonwealth to create more opportunities for our young people? >> 2009 was the last time that republicans won a state-wide race here in virginia and they are hopeful that they can turn that tide here tonight. polls are already open in virginia. the weather colder and rain is expected later in the day, and that could depress turnout, and if history is any indication, although turnout would benefit the republican candidate. >> a nail-biter there, ryan. thank you very much. we are following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. the united states stands

prepared to defend itself and its allies if need be. >> could this be the time north korea sends a strong message while trump is there. >> i can tell you that the scene there is horrific, and it's not even the word to describe. >> you have somebody with a history of violence, and history -- >> every time i heard a shot i knew that probably represented a life. i was scared to death. >> this man, if he did not have a gun or rifle you would be talking about a much worse situation. good morning, everyone. welcome to your "new day." it's tuesday, november 7th, 8:00 in the east. trump says they are making

progress, and trump is still vowing to use military force against the north if necessary. the president facing more questions about the texas church massacre. he claimed that extreme vetting for gun ownership would not have prevented the attack, and that hundreds more may have died if not for a good samaritan with a gun. this comes as there are disturbing new details emerging about the texas killer and his violent past. the air force is investigating why it failed to report a court-martial conviction to a national database. by failing to report it, there was nothing to flag with this man when he tried to buy these weapons. let's begin with jeff zell knee live in seoul with the president. we heard a change in talk ahead
